Lightball Challenge was a classic Disney Fairies flash game on the Disney.com games website. The player character would play as the pink character against a Pong style game with Iridessa, with the score kept by sunflowers on the top. I was extensively searching for the game back in 2017, being inspired by another archivist on here. On the 2007-2011 website, it would be embedded- but for the 2011 revamp it would redirect to the Disney games website. With the 2013 website rehaul for Disney.com, the game was never preserved including other 2007 era games. There was one public 2017 temporary leak of Disney Fairies Australia/NZ (where the old 2007 style international website suddenly became accessible and it appeared on search engines), but that one had older era games that were not Lightball (and due to my lack of experience, at the time- I couldn't save much, just revisit)
The game was quite elusive for years. Though the file survived, the game itself was broken where the frames of the game would show but it was overall unplayable. It remained elusive, and pictures of the game weren't published until 2020.
I spent literal years looking for a working version of this game, even one in another language but I was never able to find this game on another country's archived website. Unfortunately, that search was for nought as I was not able to find a game that would play in the browser. However, due to a leak and gaining more experience with Flash decompilation- I was able to rip many files from the game.
I stumbled into Flash preservation by complete chance, and with it I'm very lucky to at least have some assets by one of my favorite childhood games. This one was a staple, and hearing that music again brought so much nostalgia to me.
